Floating condos coming to the mighty Mississippi

New trendy condos are usually in towers and converted industrial sites — and they are stationary.

But in 2010, the lock and leave condo lifestyle will get a twist with condos you can take on your domestic travels.

River Cities Condos plans to open 185 to 200 condos on a collection of connected river barges named, the Marquette, next year. The Marquette is 600 feet long, 108 feet wide and consists of four barges. It is supposed to travel 6,600 miles annually along the Mississippi River and its connecting waterways.
